I thought Shelby was well into the swing of the Cobra production before moving to the Venice building, doing so as he had 'outgrown' Moons` workshop.
p.s. I wouldn`t hunt for the Beki Adam Cobra book unless you want to see nice pictures..... There`s much better info in this forum(and, of course, not to forget ClubCobra regular Trevor Legate`s "Cobra- The Real Thing".)
Good luck with the book, Healey.
